Generally the side lever springer are very heavy than normal break barrel and make tired easily in field and diana is well know for barrel droop faults .as far as power its good in its class.

hello
i have a diana 52 and apart from the fact that it is a bit heavy and slightly ackward to load till you become used to it, it is a very good air rifle, especially in the indian context. it is very powerful and very accurate.

Prabhu,

Some unsolicited and extreme advice

Go for a Diana 34 in .22 instead of a 52. You only loose 100fps with the 34 in .22, but gain tremendously in ease, comfort and mobility.

I BOUGHT IT FOR 1700 DHS IN DUBAI AND PAID 35% DUTY AFTER A LOT OF STRUGGLE WITH THE CUSTOMS OFFICIALS.
NOT EVERYBODY CAN AFFORD TO HAVE RIFLE ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP, KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST.

Prabhu,

Have shot a couple of 52s that my friends own and found them to be reliable and good. The weight though can be a disadvantage. Are you planning on importing one or getting it locally? If importing, look at the latest models that Diana has come out with and then take a call. Diana's do have problems with barrel droop but still better off than the Gamos and similar such stuff.

Go for Mod-54 if possible. Its recoil management means more accuracy- the pellet leaves the barrel before the recoil can affect it. IMO it is one of the best spring airgun.

[pkjeetesh]

Im with Ai on this....since I own an RWS M54...

[waltherguns007]

I am also keen to buy an air rifle/air pistol , cud ny1 help me with the dealer list in Delhi NCR or Meerut , whr i can get gud imported air rifle or an air pistol ?

[Prabhath]

Waltherguns007,

Check in the dealers listing section on the site. You will be able to get all the addresses you want. But be prepared to pay a hefty price for imported airguns in India. They sell at a very high premium. Work out a budget and try to post. A few members out here might have an imported airgun for sale. The price you would be paying out here would be better than what you would end up paying to a dealer. TenX, one of the members IIRC had an airgun for sale sometime back. Send him a pm and check if it's still available.
